160 – Muhammad ibn Idris al-Hanzali narrated to me, saying: ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Haniʾ narrated to us, saying: Misʿar recited:
I have found that hunger is driven off by a single loaf
and a palmful of water from the Euphrates;
Scant food assists one who prays,
but plentiful food assists only in sleep.
